Why dive here
With 133+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Hafsa Thila offers some of North Ari Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water sits around 29°C.
Hafsa Thila is a sizeable pinnacle in North Ari Atoll, known for its busy schooling fish action. We often see grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper edges, with big schools of fusiliers and snappers swirling above the reef. Currents can be significant here, so it’s a site best enjoyed by experienced divers comfortable with drift dives. It’s a classic Maldivian thila dive, perfect for those chasing pelagics.
